Road to be closed for essential work

A ROAD is to be closed for 40 days to allow for essential sewerage works.

Gentoo say an area of Sedgeletch Road, Fencehouses, will be closed from Tuesday, April 7.

The closure will affect the area of Sedgeletch Road adjacent to Sedgeletch Farm and leading down to Moors Burn.

Traffic diversions will be in place and access to all properties will be maintained where required. In an effort to keep disruption to a minimum, the works will be progressed in phases and work will commence after 8am each day.

Barry Walker, Managing Director at Gentoo said: ‘We apologise for any inconvenience caused, but unfortunately the works are essential and must be completed. For safety reasons, a road closure order has been requested.

“As the area will be a fully functioning site, with site vehicles accessing the work from time to time, we’d like to remind everyone that construction sites are potentially dangerous places and would ask those needing to access the area to follow the guidance in operation.”
